Passing some values of an ArrayList of objects into another class java

I have an ArrayList of Customers, and I want to add some elements of this list but not all of the Customers into another class called PayingCustomers . How would I be able to add specific values of an ArrayList into my class constructor? Kindly ignore some of the commented lines I have which is just me working on other elements of my project.

    package javaapplication1;

    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Arrays;
    import java.util.List;


    public class Customer {

        private String name;
        private String email;
            private List <Customer> list;
        private Magazine magazines;


            public void SetName(String name){

                this.name = name;

            }
        public void SetEmail(String email){

                this.email = email;

            }
        public String GetName(){

                return name;

            }
        public String GetEmail(){

                return email;

            }

            public List<Customer> getList() {

                return list;

            }

            public void setList(List<Customer> list) {

                this.list = list;

            }

            public Customer(String name, String email, Magazine magazines){

                this.name = name;
                this.email = email;
                this.magazines = magazines;


            }

            public String toString() {

            return "\nName: " + name + " Email: " + email + "\nMagazine Details: " + magazines + "\n";

Why not add a field payingCustomer in the Customer class? And set that to true only for paying customers. Or make PayingCustomer to extend Customer class and add for paying customer extra functionalities.
